Leftover Beef casserole with parmesan and parsley dumplings

Last night we had beef and eggplant casserole for the third night running. It's been a challenging week with sick kids so I cooked up a big casserole on tuesday and we have eaten it every night since. I knew it would be a struggle to get the same dinner into the family for the third night running without working some magic so I made some parsley and parmesan dumplings to go on top. Butter, flour, LOT's of parmesan cheese and parsley, and a little bit of milk to bring it together. Rolled into balls and placed on top of the casserole and baked in the oven. It was the tastiest of the three nights!
 Pizza
I made pizza the other night using this quick and simple pizza base recipe - made two thin pizza bases - just right. I topped them with tomato paste, pesto, thinly sliced eggplant, mushrooms, thinly sliced green pepper, sliced cherry tomatoes, spinach, grated cheese, parmesan cheese, chilli powder and dried basil. I will definitely be making this again, making the base was so much easier than I had anticipated. Also, I sprinkled grits on the baking pan instead of oil to stop it sticking - this works really well and adds a nice bit of crunch = )
